i <br /> RECIJIIlMON RMCO1O[MMTIONS: <br /> It is our understanding that gravel will be mined from the pit for <br /> approximately oq0 more years. Upon completion of mining the site will be <br /> reclaimed for use as dryland grazing. <br /> Topsoil overburden should be removed and stockpiled in a non-erosive <br /> configuration to be used during final reclamation. If topsoil stockpiles <br /> are to remain for more than 2 years they should be seeded to grass and kept <br /> free of noxious weeds until used for reclamation. <br /> As final reclamation begins slopes should be graded back to 3:1 or flatter <br /> and topsoil spread to a minimum depth of 6 inches over scarified gravel, <br /> depending upon available topsoil overburden. Seed should be planted in the <br /> fall after Oct.10th or in the spring before May 1st. according to the <br /> enclosed SCS Grass Seeding Worksheet (CO- ECS-5) . It is best to plant the <br /> seed in using a grass drill. If the seed is to be broadcast the seeding <br /> rate must be doubled. Slopes should be mulched with 1 ton/acre of weed free <br /> hay or straw immediately after seeding. The mulch should be disced in to <br /> anchor it from the wind. <br /> The disturbed area should be kept free of noxious weeds during gravel <br /> mining and for a period of a least 3 years following reclamation. <br /> If you require further assistance please contact this office. <br /> -OW aWcW <br /> Mark Volt <br /> District Conservationist. <br /> f <br />
